TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH

  TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH   Whether they are rich or poor, many people fail to see the link between their habits and their health. They may regard enjoying good health as a matter of chance or as something over which they have little control. Such a fatalistic view holds many back from improving their health and leading a more productive life.   In reality, whatever your financial circumstances, there are basic steps you can take to protect and greatly improve your own health and that of your family. Is doing so worth the efforts? By all means! You can increase the quality of your life and avoid needlessly shortening it.   By word and example, parents can teach their children to form good habits, resulting in better health. The extra time and expense involved will be repaid in reduced suffering, less time lost to illness, and less money spent on medical bills. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.       Cancer is overwhelmingly cau

HOW WHAT WE THINK AFFECT OUR HEALTH

These vibrations radiate like the vibrations from antenna of a transmitting broadcasting station. They will go into space and impinge themselves upon the receptive nerve centers of other human beings who may or may not be conscious of the reception. But just as a receiving station or a receiving set must attune itself by proper balance and by the proper harmony of its capacity and induction, so that the slightest change of polarity coming upon it will be quite manifest, so must the human-consciousness and nerve system become attuned to the incoming vibrations of thoughts. That is why there are so many experiments in the work of the school teachings intended to aid us in balancing, toning, and tuning our nervous system and especially the psychic part of the nervous system which has to deal with the higher rates of vibrations like those sent off by thought forms. This brings me to the concluding and important point regarding thought form. During the process of trans

THE AGE-OLD FIGHT FOR BETTER HEALTH

                                      KNOWLEDGE VERSUS SUPERSTITION         In the 14 th century, when the Black Death threatened the pope’s household in Avignon, his doctor informed him that the conjunction of three planets- Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars –in the sign of Aquarius was the principal cause of the plague.       Some four centuries later, George Washington went to bed with a sore throat. Three eminent doctors treated the infection by draining some two liters of blood from his veins. Within a few hours, the patient was dead. Bloodletting was standard medical practice for 2,500 years –from the time of Hippocrates until the mid-19 th century.      Although superstition and tradition delayed medical progress, dedicated doctors work hard to discover the causes of infectious diseases and remedies for them. Below are a few of the significant breakthroughs they made.    SMALLPOX: In 1798, Edward Jenner successfully developed a vaccine for smallpox. During th

FIVE THINGS TO WATCH IN THE HEALTH WORLD

                               [1] EARLY NICOTINE ADDICTION     The first puff of cigarette could be enough to hook a young teenager into addiction. The extraordinary findings upend the prevailing view about nicotine addiction being a slowly acquired process that occurs only after several years of heavy smoking.      In a study of 1,200 teenagers over approximately six years, researchers found that physical addiction is a much stronger force than peer pressure, even among those who smoked only rarely, the paper said.      According to the study, nicotine dependence symptoms appear in many young tobacco users between the first exposure to nicotine and the onset of daily smoking. The researchers say that antismoking campaigns should be adapted not only to help youths resist the pressure to smoke but also to help those who have smoked to overcome nicotine dependence.                                     [2] RAGE IS BAD FOR YOU         According to Valentina D’ Urs
